Aida - How I Know You (Reprise), Written In The Stars and I Know The Truth

AIDA
HOW I KNOW YOU - Reprise
Mereb:
There is a time
there is a place
When love should conquer all
The rest of life is pushed aside
as truth and reason fall
But only if that selfishness
can lead to something good
I thought I knew you princess
But I never understood
I don't know you
I don't know you
WRITTEN IN THE STARS
AIDA
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
That someone you once loved so long ago so well
RADAMES
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
AIDA
Marry the Princess, Radames. You can help my people. This could be our chance
to do something important. Don't you see?
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide
RADAMES
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
AIDA & RADAMES
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
AIDA
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
AIDA & RADAMES
For some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
I KNOW THE TRUTH
Amneris:
How did I come to this?
How did I slip and fall?
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all?
This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
and I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in a star
But I know the truth and it haunts me
it's flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far.
Why do I want him still?
Why when there's nothing there?
How to go on with the rest of my life
To pretend I don't care
This should've been my time
It's over-It never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
and I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
Oh I know the trth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
Too late

The message of "How I know you (reprise)" seems to have been made for those two people who clicked "dislike"...
